lected the Beehive sports cards and eventually sold my collection.” His first broadcasting experience came at CFAR in Flin Flon. He remembers having Bobby Clarke, a returning Flin Flon Bomber from the NHL, among his first colour commentators. “We were on the radio dial at 590, CFQC was at 600. One morning, Jack Sandberg at CFQC heard me doing a sportscast from Flin Flon. He told me to send an audition tape. Jack, Dennis Fisher and Terry Higgins really welcomed me to the station.” In 1974, he received a call from Patty Ginnell, whom he’d met in Flin Flon, and was operating the WHL franchise in Victoria. He asked him to join them as a broadcaster and marketer. And then CFQC called again. He returned as sports director. “I was on a 1981 road trip with the Blades on a West Coast trip when Daryl Lubiniecki asked if I could come and work for him as assistant general manager. It was too good an opportunity to pass up.” There was much excitement when the Blades and Brandon Wheat Kings played the first game in the new Saskatchewan Place on Feb. 9, 1988. “Saskatoon Telecable was going to televise the opener but they didn’t have a play-by-play announcer. Memorable on three counts. We won the game, 4-3. My hunger for the broadcast booth came back.

hushing earlier this year after suing to get released from the agreement. Maybe she even gave the money back. The Donald, which is a very mob-sounding name, would want his cash back, with an exorbitant interest attached. From where did the money come? Federal investigators have granted Postmedia’s former board member immunity, meaning Pecker is going to rat out Trump and save his own butt. Specifically, prosecutors want Pecker to provide information on Trump’s lawyer, who has pleaded guilty to eight charges, including campaign finance violations regarding the source of the hush money. Did Trump commit the same violations? The lawyer said Trump did. Now Pecker will shed more light on it. Postmedia CEO Paul Godfrey, in a onesentence statement, thanked Pecker for his contributions to the company. It’s crazy that a person with loosey goosey ties to the StarPhoenix is going to play a key role in bringing down the president of the United States. ***** How many police officers does it take to save the life of a person pinned under a vehicle? There were nine at the scene of an accident on Sept. 3. They lifted a car off a 22-year-old man, giving firefighters a chance to extract him. A 21-year-old woman has been charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm. So there are police officers there when you need them. We have some of the best in the business.

Kim’s Convenience author coming to Saskatoon Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express t’s possible you have not heard of Ins Choi. It’s far less possible that you have not heard of his brainchild, Kim’s Convenience. What started as a Fringe play is now a television sensation. First produced for CBC in 2012, it continues to attract audiences and even networks: it hit Netflix this July. Kim’s Convenience’s success may have been slightly less remarkable had it debuted this year, when the entire world is talking about another hit featuring Asian characters: Crazy Rich Asians. Meanwhile, the actor Sandra Oh is much in the news as the first-ever Asian woman nominated for a lead actress Emmy Award. But Choi wrote the play in 2011, and has been amazed at how audiences have embraced the tale of a Korean family operating, yes, a convenience store in Toronto. Indeed, he was “surprised every step of the way” as the play progressed from the Fringe Festival to Soulpepper Theatre to venues across Canada, and even in the United States. Would it work in Winnipeg? Yes, as it turned out, it would. Vancouver? Halifax? Yes. Everywhere. In an interview from Vancouver, where Choi is connecting with a theatre company producing the play, he conceded it is “doing very well.” But he’s keeping a close eye on it. “I like to keep in touch with it,” he said. “Quality control as well as advocating for diverse directors, diverse artists, women artists and casting. I would roll over in my grave if, God forbid, a white actor ever played Appa for some weird reason.” Appa is “Dad” in Korean, and one of the main characters in the play/TV series. As recently as last summer, in a huge public American venue, a troupe cast a white woman who went on stage with yellow makeup and her eyes prosthetically altered. “It created an uproar in the city. They couldn’t find an Asian actor?” asked Choi. Choi is appearing for the first time at the Word on the Street Festival (WOTS) Sept. 16 at 2 p.m. in the Great Expectations Tent. Whether he will discuss the importance of the advancement of Asian people in the theatre arts remains to be seen. “I’ll be talking about the writing,” he said. “I’ll be talking about the writing process behind Kim’s Convenience, the story behind it, how it got up on stage and how it got on TV. The process is very different (between theatre and TV). “A large portion of it will be questions and answers. Hopefully it will add a boost to the festival, kind of a different angle on writing.” Most literary festivals focus on books, he noted. Playwriting and screenwriting are different genres of literature, “but writing is AS091007 Aaron writing and dialogue is dialogue,” he said. “It

Ins Choi has taken Kim’s Convenience from from fringe festivals to Netflix (Photo Supplied) may inspire some writers to launch out into different territories. “I’m excited to come out, get a taste of Saskatoon, the audience, as well as the artists. And encourage people to come out to the Word on the Street festival. “It’s my first time in Saskatoon. I was in Regina in February for another writing conference, but did not get to Saskatoon yet, so this will be my first time which I’m really excited about.” In the beginning Choi was originally an actor, having graduated from Toronto’s York University in the acting program — more of an equalopportunity environment than what he found in the real world. “In university you’re cast in a whole bunch of roles,” he said. “There’s a lot of creative casting which happens in university. My father could be white, my mother could be black, and you just go – in The Winter’s Tale or Hamlet or what have you. “In the real world, it didn’t work that way. I was very frustrated with the limited and at the time stereotypical roles that were available to me. Then a theatre company called fu-JEN began in Toronto. It was that theatre company that empowered me.” There, through the writing unit, he began to develop Kim’s Convenience. He wasn’t the only Asian Canadian to push into creative arts. Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who plays Appa, and Jean Yoon, who plays Umma in Kim’s, were also working hard to break in, just like Constance Woo and Sandra Oh. “We all branched out on our own and it’s only now there’s a celebration and a vehicle, TV and films, to celebrate that decision people made so long ago. But it’s coming to fruition. And I think it is going to change; just not as fast as we would want. “We’ve needed the time to grow up and hone our skills. “There’s a lot more work to be done. We’re far from success, but I think we have come a long way. Kim’s is definitely on the map. It’s doing well in the U.S. on Netflix.” While in Saskatoon, Choi, who also continues to act, will also give a performance of

Extraordinary Living Begins Here...

Joanne has been able to get within three feet of this critter. (Photo by Joanne Paulson) ***** In other wildlife news: we did get to the lake for a little while, before the weather turned absolutely dreadful. It wasn’t all that great to begin with, with smoky skies and blustery winds. Almost every day, we wandered down the lakeside trail, which eventually turns slightly north and winds more deeply into the woods. Blueberries lurk there. I love wild blueberries. There weren’t a heck of a lot of them; the berries weren’t as plentiful as they were in the La Ronge area, apparently. Or, there was another reason for the lack. As we trekked along, I began to notice little black piles of wildlife poop. Then I noticed the poop was full of berries. I’ve been going to this lake since I was literally a few months old; I’d seen this before. But one or two poops per year. By the time we got to the seventh pile, which was still, well, steaming, I threw up my hands. “That’s it,” I said to hubby. Turned on my heel and started churning back to the cabin. Seven piles of poop, two fresh, equals bears. Very nearby. And me without my bear spray. Goodbye.

Beyak had long run as Maple Leafs announcer

(Continued from page 1) to try and retain my professionalism as best I could. “I think the other things the Memorial Cup did for me personally was getting the NHL teams familiar with my name.” Beyak took his Memorial Cup credentials to Seattle, where he became general manager and experienced another Memorial Cup in 1992. “Secretly, we in Seattle were always hoping we’d be the next NHL franchise. That didn’t happen. We had one cup night where we got bumped by a National Basketball League playoff game and we had to play in a 4,100-seat house instead of a 12,000-seat arena. Just about the same time, Seattle was on a Save the Mariners baseball kick, too.” Beyak spent two years in Seattle, and then went for one year to the Tricity Americans “where one week after being assured by owners my job was safe, I lost it.” He had an option to be commissioner of the West Coast Hockey League but, with a stroke of good fortune, he landed an NHL opportunity with the Oilers. “Bev convinced me that Edmonton was the place because I had always dreamed of being an NHL play-by-play announcer. It was a terrific decision and ended only when CFRN’s radio contract with the Oilers ran out. I’ll never forget my last sportscast at CFRN. It was the same night that Lady Diana was killed in the European car accident,” said Beyak. Ron Harrison of Molstar called and asked if “I’d be interested in moving to Toronto where primarily I would do the Maple

Leaf hockey broadcasts. It ended up being a 14-year run. I liked the opportunity to know Pat Quinn better and the bonus was that Wendel Clark, a former Blade, was there.” And then there was another happy turn of events. “Paul Graham and I met at the 1989 Memorial Cup and struck up a good friendship. When the Winnipeg Jets came back into the NHL in 2011, Paul said if TSN got the rights, they’d need a broadcaster. I said I’d be there in a heartbeat,” said Beyak. TSN got the contract. “The return of the Jets was amazing and electrifying. The fans cried when the team was taken away. They cried when it came back. So many of the outside media were there. They opened against Montreal and lost the home opener, 6-1. “They won their road opener against Philadelphia, 9-8. The Jets had everything for them – good ownership, a Saskatchewan connection in Kevin Cheveldayoff, eventually Paul Maurice as coach. Paul is as classy an individual any I’ve been around. He understands everybody’s job. He understands the players, and even when he loses, it isn’t the end of the world.” Above all, Beyak is a good old-fashioned broadcaster. He knows play-by-play still matters. If he has an analyst (and he had seven of them last year), they work at ice level. He does interviews in between periods from the booth. And he has excellent feel for both the game and the broadcasting industry. He and Bev spend nine months of the year in Winnipeg and the other three in Kelowna.

news, bad news” scenario because it is always bad news. Maybe the problem is not waste management itself, but waste management managers. Over the years, we’ve heard that introducing recycling would extend the life of the landfill, saving us from spending tens of millions of dollars on building a new landfill. That didn’t pan out. The diversion of garbage going to the landfill expected from recycling never came to fruition. Dumping fees at the landfill were increased and consequently, less material was sent to the landfill, so revenues declined. I don’t know if that means that people no longer have material to dispose of, or that they have found a cheaper place to dispose of their refuse. The proposed answer to this problem of waste management is to create a garbage utility and charge homeowners for garbage pickup which is currently being paid for through property tax. Added to the garbage pick-up fee will be another bin for organic waste and it is unclear whether that too will have a separate fee. We should expect to have three individual bins and I suspect three individual charges, each based on the size of bin homeowners select. Based on preliminary numbers, the cost of pickup will depend on the size of the bin used. The small bin would cost $216 a year with no increase over the first three years. Users of medium and large bins will initially be charged $230 and $294 a year, increasing to $273 and $434.40 respectively over a three-year period. (I suspect there will be a run on small bins.) In short, at the end of the three-year cycle, a homeowner with a large bin will be paying $434.40 plus approximately $60 for recycling for a total of $494 a year for waste removal, over and above property taxes.James Of course, this presupJW091004

poses there will not be an additional charge for picking up the organics bin. But the biggest concern about creating a new utility for garbage collection is that the city utility can increase your collection fees annually, which is already contemplated in the report, and is what the city currently does with the water utility. Over the last several years, we have had a 9.5 per cent annual increase in water rates. Each year the city takes a dividend from the utility. This year, the city is taking $500,000 (see opening paragraph) and applying it to the shortfall in the budget. In essence, it is indirect taxation. The city plans not only to divert your garbage costs, but your taxes as well. After playing this shell game, council can crow about the good job they’re doing in limiting property tax increases. Another concern should be whether an infrastructure charge (no doubt to provide for a new landfill) will accompany the garbage fee. Note in your water bill an infrastructure charge for both the water and sewer, based on a percentage of your usage. If a garbage utility operates like the water utility, add taxes to those utility charges. Let me repeat myself, there is no good news when dealing with waste management. Setting aside the garbage utility, which won’t be introduced until 2020, the city is projecting a four to 4.5 per cent property tax increase for 2019. Does this increase include the police budget? What about the Remai Modern Art Gallery budget? Of course, the library budget is a separate budget line and given its desire for a new $100-million facility, don’t expect a status quo budget from the library board. This budget process is a recycling effort at its finest. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

5 design mistakes to avoid

Being Matchy Matchy ou would think that designers would like the word ‘match’….but it usually makes us cringe. We love things to coordinate, but having every fabric the same on every piece of furniture looks bland and boring. To create visual interest in a space you need multiple layers and textures, colour and patterns. Shop at several stores instead of buy-

ing everything all in one place. Keep your fabric swatches and paint samples with you at all times. You will easily be able to see what works when you lay it all out together. This process can seem tedious but remember, designers spend hours pulling fabrics and options for clients. If you want a room to feel put together, give it the time it deserves.

Not Measuring First his mistake happens way more than it should. You go to a store and see the perfect painting, or dining set, or even fridge, and you immediately purchase it without knowing how it will fit. Then the delivery crew drops it off and your fridge it two inches too tall for its opening. This starts a chain reaction of problems that could have easily been avoided.

Questions to ask before embracing DIY

While DIY might seem more affordable than hiring a contractor, that’s not necessarily true. Novice DIYers may need to buy or rent tools, costs that can add up. Contractors already have the tools necessary to begin and complete projects, so the cost savings of DIY might not be as significant as homeowners think. Before going the DIY route, homeowners should solicit estimates from contractors, comparing the estimates to how much a project will cost if homeowners do it themselves.

spaces with clever ideas

omeowners looking to add more space to their homes do not necessarily need to make major renovations. They simply have to see the possibilities in outdoor living spaces. A recent survey from the online home design and remodeling resource Houzz found that more than 4,500 users were planning a landscape update. In addition, 56 percent of homeowners surveyed were making updates to improve their yards for entertaining. While the creation of outdoor living spaces can cost thousands of dollars depending on the renovation, homeowners have more budget-friendly options at their disposal as well. The following are some ways to create inviting spaces no matter how much squarefootage is present. Revamp a garage or shed Rather than turning a storage area into a catch-all for items time forgot, clean out the space and put it to better use. For instance, kids may appreciate their own clubhouse away from the main living area. These spaces also can be handy bonus rooms for when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and

backyard guests need to seek shelter. Wall art, curtains, a pendant light, and some comfortable outdoor-compatible furniture can quickly transform a space. Create a relaxing nook Whether there’s a ledge, overhang, small terrace, or porch off the house, turn it into a relaxing area for reading a book or sipping a beverage. Use a few outdoor pillows, pull up a small folding table and dress the area with hanging lights and potted plants for a quiet retreat. Add privacy to a porch If it’s privacy you covet, install curtain rods and hang lightweight mesh or another translucent material that obscures neighbors’ views without blocking out natural light. Invest in outdoor sofas and chaises to create an outdoor living room right on the porch. If your budget allows, consider closing in the porch as a true three-season room so it can be used throughout fall, spring and summer. Outdoor living spaces are booming and highly achieveable, and many such spaces need not be expensive.

Arbutus Properties is doing more than building homes in The Meadows.

is both a developer and builder, was formed in 2008. “It’s a big step for us,” Minakakis said. “We did feel we did need a commercial portion of the neighbourhood to fulfill that walkable lifestyle. So that’s how Meadows Market came to be and why it is joint with our residential construction.” He said having Costco as a co-anchor is important. “No one competes with Costco in terms of traffic flow.” On the drawing board is Solair, a futuristic development. Arbutus’ vision is to build “the largest green renewable energy based, sustainable community in Canada. Solair will provide an unparalleled opportunity for innovation and development of solar technology, storm water management, and home building innovation to create a high-quality community that will set a new standard to the way suburban development needs to be built,” the company’s website says. The Solair development is a joint venture between Arbutus Properties and the Franko family of Saskatoon. The community, when complete, will consist of more than 2,200 homes and approximately 7,000 residents living in condos, townhomes and single-family homes at a variety of price points. The Solair project will result in a $350-million investment over the next five to seven years that will create up to 200 jobs. “It is an exciting time in the Arbutus world. We have a lot of things going on,” Minakakis said. Taylor St E

boulevard in front of the houses has a tree. Our properties are going to look better with time because everything is going to grow up together.” He said one only has to look at the first phase of the development where trees are growing. “We are starting to present the feel we strived for years ago. In the newer phases the trees are smaller and you don’t tend to see it as much, but if you step back you can picture the streetscape or landscape of the future. That is what we are going for.” Minakakis said Arbutus is also relaunching its Laneway Homes this month. Laneway Homes start at a price of $359,900. They are ideal for an entrylevel buyer. The threelevel, three-bedroom homes feature wood cabinets, a full kitchen appliance package, luxury flooring and ample storage. The fullheight basement is roughed in. “This has been our most successful product that we’ve built,” said. “We sold out of our last release and are now starting and pre-selling our next phase of Morris.” He said the imminent opening of Struthers Park is important to the development. “For us it’s a big thing. All of our first phase development surrounds the park. The development of the street we are doing now backs the other side of the park. “It has asphalt trails and it’s going to have a playground. It is really going to help us connect toward the school area. The different sectors of Rosewood are coming together right at the heart of that school.” These are exciting times for Arbutus for a couple of other reasons. One is the recent opening of Meadows Market. It’s the development with a close proximity to Costco. Among the tenants are Marshalls, Pet Smart, a Co-op liquor store, Tim Hortons and a McDonald’s. It was Arbutus’s first foray into commercial development. The company, which O

ody Minakakis uses words such as walkability and neighbour interaction when discussing Arbutus’ development philosophy in the subdivision in southeast Saskatoon. “The Meadows is designed to be walkable; it is also designed to promote neighbour interaction,” Minakakis, sales manager for Arbutus, said. “Part of our architectural guidelines are single-family homes, but we use the slogan ‘front porch living.’ That is really the lifeblood of the Meadows. “On summer days you see that. We have so many families here, so many kids, people who walk through. Different streets have now developed and have had block parties. That is the whole front-porch aspect of the development.” One example of homes that are a perfect fit for the community are the Harvest Townhomes. “They are move-in ready and economically priced, starting at $289,000. They are a very West Coast style.” The showhome is located at 703 Meadows Boulevard. “We are providing a lot of the luxuries people want within some higher-end developments in terms of brand-name plumbing fixtures, brand-name flooring, all-quartz countertops and we have a lot of different unit types: two-bedroom unit types backing green space, we have three-bedroom unit types that are in the 1,300-square- foot range, all the way up to 1,600 square feet.” There are eight floor plans available. “The development itself is going to have uniqueness. There is lots of stone, an abundance of greenery and trees. It is going to have its own pristine trail system within the complex, so it is going to be really unique in comparison to a lot of projects you would typically see in the City of Saskatoon. “When you drive through The Meadows it does feel different by seeing all the front porches, by seeing the controls of the siding and the exterior materials and you see people having conversations across their decks and porches. It is an interesting take on development for sure.” He said the controls that Arbutus has in place will ensure the longevity of the community. “We want materials to go on houses that are going to last through time. In 20 years they are going to look better than they do today.” He said that will come about as the neighbourhood matures. “In The Meadows you are going to see that every front yard has a tree. Every front yard is landscaped by us as the developer. Every

Caring for kitchen countertops

itchen remodels are a popular home improvement project that help homeowners recoup large percentages of their initial investments at resale. A kitchen remodel can invigorate a home and make the most popular room in the house more functional. According to HomeAdvisor, a home-improvement informational guide, homeowners spend an average of $22,000 on kitchen remodels. However, lavish projects can cost more than $50,000. Protecting such investments is important and requires that home-

owners understand how to properly maintain kitchen features so they have the longest life possible. This includes the new countertops that make the kitchen look complete. Countertops come in various materials, not all of which should be treated the same way. Quartz, granite, marble, laminate, and tile countertops require different types of maintenance. Quartz Engineered quartz countertops are popular. Quartz countertops are nearly mainte-

nance-free and resistant to stains, scratches and even heat. Quartz will not need to be sealed like natural stone and can be cleaned using just a damp cloth with a mild, nonabrasive soap. Granite Polished or honed granite countertops offer a high-end look that adds instant value to a kitchen. Natural variations in granite give each kitchen a custom look. To keep granite countertops clean, avoid abrasive cleansers that can scratch, and opt for warm, soapy water instead. Stains are possible, but can be remedied with a baking soda paste left to sit for a couple of hours. Wipe up oils, acids and soda promptly to avoid stains, and follow advised sealing routines. Marble Marble is a natural stone that is porous and will need to be resealed periodically. Because marble has high levels of the mineral calcite, it can be reactive when acids come in contact with it, and etch marks may appear. Promptly wipe away tomato juice, lemon juice, perfume, or toothpaste. Marble is softer than granite and will wear at a faster rate. Avoid scratching and exercise caution when using knives or sharp objects around marble. Laminate One of the more budget-friendly materials, laminate countertops can be fabricated to mimic the look of natural stone, wood or even quartz. Laminate is less resistant to damage than other materials and will need a gentle touch. Formica® says to never use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or steel

Countertops come in various materials, not all of which should be treated the same way wool when cleaning laminate countertops. For tough stains, an all-purpose cleaner should suffice when applied with a nylonbristled brush. Test any cleanser in a discreet area first. Tile Cleaning tile countertops requires getting into crevices along the grout lines. A toothbrush and a mildew-fighting cleaner or bleach diluted with water is advised. Also, unglazed tiles need to be sealed yearly. Some soap may leave residue, which can be removed with a solution of vinegar and water. Check with the manufacturer or installer of the countertops to learn more about the ways to clean and maintain new counters.

Joshua Beaudry is directing The Aliens as part of Persephone’s Deep End series. (Photo Supplied) Written by the Mom’s the Word Collective, the productions stars Jill Daum, Erla Faye Forsyth, Alison Kelly, Barbara Pollard and Deborah Williams, with Wayne Harrison directing. Persephone is billing the show as “a new chapter” in the Mom’s the Word series: “Their kids are grown, their marriages have ‘evolved’ and their bodies are backfiring. Life doesn’t get any prettier, but it never strays far from ludicrous or poignant as the moms mine their personal history for every embarrassing detail. Filled with insights, secrets and ribald humour, this brand-new show is both hysterical and deeply touching.” Tickets are $49-$55 and are available by calling 306-384-7727 or by going online to persephonetheatre.org. ***** In other Persephone Theatre news, the theatre has announced a new inclusivity program that aims to increase its accessibility in the community. As a result of funding through the Saskatoon Community Foundation’s Quality of Life Grant, Persephone is developing three new programs in support of individuals with hearing loss, sensory issues and varying visual ability, as well as those living with autism and others who may find public performances challenging to attend. New relaxed performances, for example, will be offered for people who may require an adjusted environment, such as individuals on the autism spectrum, people living with epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease or Tourette syndrome or parents with small

children. A relaxed performance of Gruff will take place on Sept. 26 at 1 p.m. in the BackStage Stage. For people with varying visual abilities, audio-described performances will be offered in consultation with the nonprofit group Vocal Eye Descriptive Arts. An audio-described performance of the main stage comedy Mom’s the Word: Nest ½ Empty will be held on Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. For individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, Persephone will be offering American Sign Language-interpreted performances. There is an announcement coming about an ASL-interpreted performance of the holiday musical Fiddler on the Roof. For those who need assistance to attend any of the inclusivity performances, complimentary companion tickets will also be made available. For additional information, call McKenna Ramsay at 306-384-2126 (ext. 238) or email mckennar@persephonetheatre.org. ***** Still looking for more laughs? You’re in luck. As Saskatoon’s theatre scene ramps up again, there’s a variety of options available for audience members – including the first of five productions that will make up Mini Fridge Theatre Company’s 2018-19 season. For the third year, Mini Fridge has partnered with the German Cultural Centre to offer a number of dinner theatre comedies.

“Our team has several decades of theatre experience – both on stage and behind the scenes – and it’s important to share that with the community,” said Neuert. “Plus we’re living in a very divided world right now. Now more than ever, it’s important to come together and enjoy a few laughs with the people you care about.” Directed by Neuert, Last of the Red Hot Lovers runs Sept. 19-21 and Sept. 26-28, with a matinee on Sept. 23.

Need a flight attendant to do a demo perhaps? #ClickItOrTicket Fine = $175.” • From a list of NFL season rules: “1. Do not call me at any time on Sundays, Monday nights and Thursday nights; 2. If someone is dying, call 911 before you call me because I’m guessing they will answer. I won’t; 3. If someone has already died, do not call me, there’s obviously nothing I can do. Also, there is no need for both of us to be sad at the same time.” • From Torben Rolfsen: “Rush Week for fraternities is coming up, so the Washington Capitals will be introducing their prospects to drinking beer out of the Stanley Cup.” • Janice Hough, on the Rafael Nadal-Dominic Thiem US Open match lasting four hours and 49 minutes: “Wow. That’s almost as long as the average Red Sox-Yankees game.” • The NFL opener between Atlanta and Philadelphia was a great advertisement for the CFL. • From Rolfsen: “Regardless of your politics, Colin Kaepernick desperately needs a haircut and shave. He makes Chewbacca look like Cristiano Ronaldo.” • And another one from Rolfsen: “NFL opener: I was hoping Kaepernick would parachute in with the game ball.” • A tweet from Trump: “What was Nike thinking?” Nike was thinking like a president should. • A question from Hough: “How many 49ers fans are torn between desire to support Colin Kaepernick and Nike, and still really glad Kap is no longer San Francisco’s QB?” • Toronto Blue Jays fans have endured a horrible season.

Along with the normal elements on the road that demand your attention, this weekend’s roads will likely be full of Bombers fans driving with tears in their eyes.” • From Hough: “Apparently Trump has narrowed his list of suspects on that NY Times Op-Ed. He thinks it happened in the library, with the wrench, Colonel Mustard.” • The Longest Yard was by far my favourite Burt Reynolds movie. It was cool Joe Kapp had role in it. • From Bill Littlejohn: “If thinking too much inside the red zone hampers a QB, then Pat Ryan is the Stephen Hawking of the NFL.” • From the Twitter account of @nachosarah: “Maybe so many white women support Trump because he looks like he’s made out of pumpkin spice.” • Wise words from Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press: “Blake Wheeler isn’t just the Winnipeg Jets’ leader on the ice; he is the team’s backbone. You can debate the length (five years) and the price tag ($8.5 million per), but you can’t argue about the message the contract sends: This team is all in. Buckle up, sports fans.” • Wouldn’t it be great if Trump found the leaker on the same day the pee-pee video is released? • From Hough: “Trump said Nike made a terrible mistake, while Serena Williams lauded its Kaepernick ad.

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express s a one-time rock music devotee and impresario, David Tkachuk watched Kenny Shields evolve as a performing artist with bands like Witness Inc., A Group called Mudd, Wascana and eventually Streetheart. Now as a Canadian senator, Tkachuk was there recently to pay tribute to the Canadian rock and roller at a special dedication ceremony in Nokomis. Shields died July 21, 2017. His life was celebrated in Winnipeg on Aug. 30 and his Nokomis hometown folks paid tribute to their favourite son with the unveiling of a highway sign on Sept. 1. Tkachuk spoke at the Nokomis function, hailing Shields “as a man who performed many great deeds, a man all about music, a performer and entertainer until the day he died. “Kenny gave it all, knew how to work and showed constant movement on the stage. And through his life, he never forgot Nokomis.” Now Nokomis has a reminder of what Shields brought to the Canadian music world and the continued affection he held for his Saskatchewan hometown. Bonnie Decker, a leader in organizing the tribute, told the story of how Shields and his bandmates landed in Nokomis not much more than a year ago and one of the boys wondered why there wasn’t a sign on the highway recognizing Shields. “I told him we were working on the project. Unfortunately, Kenny died before he got to see it,” said Decker, who added that Canadian fans raised about $7,500 to make the Nokomis dream come true. Another organizer was Don Windsor, who spoke on behalf of the Streetheart band. He took on the initiative with a GoFundMe page. Elena Anania, widow of Shields, and Sharlene, sister of Shields, participated in the ceremonies, and Michael Rodriguez, a stepbrother-in-law, gave a touching speech on behalf of the family.

WORLD TRADE CENTER Saskatoon puts Prairieland on global stage

he main trade and conference facility at Prairieland Park is getting a worldly name. It was announced last week that the facility at Prairieland Park will be rebranded to include the WORLD TRADE CENTER (WTC) Saskatoon logo. John Williams, president of CANWEST CLC, and WTC Saskatoon, and Mark Regier, CEO of Saskatoon Prairieland Park Corporation, made the announcement at a news conference. “This is extremely exciting for us,”

Regier said in a news release. “The opportunities available to us through the WTC network seem almost limitless and put us, and Saskatoon, on a global stage.” WTC Saskatoon is a member of the World Trade Center Association with more than 325 members in almost 100 countries worldwide. WTC Saskatoon is also part of the Members Advisory Council for Conferences & Exhibitions, Agriculture and the Trade Promotion Services. “Saskatchewan needs both foreign and direct investment to develop our agricul-

tural industry for processing; both in primary and secondary production,” Williams said in regards to economic development and the role WTC Saskatoon can play. Many world trade centres combine a business space with conference space, and in an effort to maximize the use of the current tradeshow and conference space in our market, Williams sought out a strategic alliance with Prairieland Park. “We think this serves both parties very well,” he said in the release. “With an incredible level of customer service and over 240,000 square feet of convention and trade show space at Prairieland Park, we believe this facility can handle any event that we bring forward.”

The name and brand Prairieland Park will continue to exist. The Trade and Convention facility will be known as the WORLD TRADE CENTER Saskatoon at Prairieland Park. Prairieland Park will continue to operate Sports On Tap, Marquis Downs, Prairieland Park AG Centre, the outdoor venues (Kickin’ Horse Saloon and the Grandstand) and three Live Horse Racing Wagering Centres throughout the province. Recent renovations to the main entrance and lobby were done in anticipation of this announcement, in an effort to bring the outside facade up to what one would expect from a facility branded as a WTC, the release said.

STOP SEEING ALL OF THEM

Dear Lianne, I have myself in a bit of a dilemma. I was dating a girl for a year and a half. She was rarely available to see me maybe once or twice every two weeks. She has anxiety issues and is depressed. We work in the same building but in different departments. I wasn’t getting what I needed from her. I met a lady and we became friends. I actually was trying to set her up with my friend. My girlfriend saw a text that the other lady sent me and broke up with me.

Now I’ve kinda started just a physical relationship with the new lady but she is not relationship material. I still am lonely, need attention and just can’t do the strictly physical stuff. I want a relationship. My ex girlfriend wants to see me again and I know she wants me back. Really, I would rather just meet someone new. There is a girl online that wants to meet me but I’m not sure what to do. Any suggestions for a guy like me? Paul

Dear Paul, You are spinning your wheels and going in all sorts of directions. You need to take a break from all of this and all of them. Basically, you have said you really don’t want either of the women so why bother? You’re better than nothing, and purely physical relationship is going to stop you from finding true love and happiness. Now is not the time to explore a new relationship with the online prospect. Get off line and slow down. I would strongly recommend

that you take a minimum of 3 months where you do not date or be physically intimate with anyone. Spend this time getting yourself in a good emotional and physical position, then start to look at new prospects. You seem to attract people with issues. You might want to investigate co-dependant relationships and determine if this is your pattern. Once you’ve been on your own for 3 months, we at Camelot Introductions, will help you break your pattern and find a healthy relationship.
